I’m back to working in colour now. Hmm, maybe you didn’t even know I was working in monochrome before, I didn’t mention it but you might have noticed from the previous images. Anyway, it’s great to get back to working with a colour palette. Not just that, but the way in which I’m colouring is really fun too.

Recently, I’ve been drawing with a ruler when animating. It’s something I’ve never really done before actually. It’s slowed down my work-rate somewhat but it’s been really fun to draw with slightly more precision.

Update on my floor: there’s still no room to move.
Update on Sefton’s Dream: I’m still working on it. It’s getting close though, honest.

A quick look at a frame from Sefton’s Dream.

Sefton’s Dream update: it’s still going.

I had a bit of time to myself recently so I made a little animation. Nothing fancy just a brief introduction to the two characters from my comic Starfields. Ever since I made the comic I always imagined what they’d look like moving. Oh, and if you click on ‘HD’ you can watch it in High Definition on vimeo.

Hello. How are you?

I made a comic. It’s called “Starfields”, as you can probably guess from the cover above. It’s a short 27 page story that I’m very happy to say was recently awarded the Second prize in Kodansha’s Morning International Comic Competition. It’s actually the first comic I’ve ever made so I’m really pleased with it. It’s just been published online so please click on the links to read it in English or Japanese on the Morning International Comic Competition website.
